Better Beats Headphones?

Better Beats Headphones? | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
From blog.moon-audio.com - May 25, 2015 11:00 AM

Better Beats
Beats headphones look great and sound average. Friends who make Dragons audio cables decided to do an experiment to see if they could improve beats with better cables (theirs). Their cables make $5,000 headphones sound better, now the question was could they make less expensive cans sound great.

Answer: Yes they can
Fascinating story of "hardwiring" Beats by genius engineers at Moon Audio. Why Did I put this content in our Startups feed? Every startup lives in a place that requires noise cancellation to get any work done at all. Headphones and startups go together like boyhood and dogs :). Marty

Basic Marketing Strategies For Startups

Basic Marketing Strategies For Startups | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
From ezinearticles.com - August 9, 2013 1:25 PM
Marketing is one of the most important features in a business. A good marketing strategy makes a business look more appealing and gives it a larger exposure. It gives a jumpstart and makes the owner a better marketer.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

"Basic" Startup Marketing
The linked post provides a good overview of "basic marketing" strategies. Startups have some different needs. The nature of being a startup is some things that many businesses know startups do not.

Startups are organic, quickly evolving and strategies must keep pace. Here are 5 Startup Marketing Tips Not covered in the post:

Marketing For Startups

1. Uniqueness - What is your "Unique Selling Proposition" or USP?

2. Values - Who are you and what principles guide your actions.

3. Flexible Tactics by estimated ROI (how will you make money now?).

4. Brand Persona & Values - what UCA (Unique Customer Aspirations) does your brand promote (see Stengel's Brand Ideals here: http://sco.lt/8RPl7x ).
5. Save The World - how is your marketing related to saving the world in some meaningful and measurable way?

You can think of each of these five ideas as stories you need to tell, stories you must be able to tell in an elevator, at dinner or in passing. What and who you are must be automatic and confident. Know these 5 stories and your startup can create winning marketing, marketing that is aligned, concise and clear.
